Handset maker INQ has revealed its next two devices, the INQ Chat 3G and INQ Mini 3G.
They're the follow-ups to last year's INQ1, which put users' Facebook feeds on their homescreens, and was sold by operator 3 in the UK.
Both new handsets include that functionality, but the big news this time round is Twitter, including a widget on the Chat 3G that puts tweets on the homescreen too.
That handset has a full QWERTY keyboard and offers push Gmail. Meanwhile, the Mini 3G is a traditional candybar-shaped phone. Both include Skype and instant messaging features too.
However, equally interesting is INQ's decision to have both handsets sync music with iTunes on users' PCs or Macs.INQ is using technology from doubleTwist to do this.
It could be a controversial feature, though. Palm has similar functionality in its Pre smartphone - albeit not using doubleTwist - but Apple moved quickly to disable it in an iTunes update.

INQ says that 65% of people who bought the INQ1 use Facebook regularly, so it will be interesting to see if Twitter enjoys a similar boost once the new handsets go on sale.
No operator deals have yet been announced for the Chat 3G and Mini 3G.
